Early horror cema, ma when homosexualy was regard at bt as unspeakable, at worst as an abomatn, embraced the sexual viants as another means to unnerve their dienc. Sce then, gay gothic films have flourished, and ntue to break barriers.

The tillatg blend of horror and homosexualy has lead to a untls number of lbian vampire movi, ma mostly for a straight male dience. It’s even ma s way to porn – see 1983’s Gayracula (actually don’t, ’s ls fun than sounds).

Sorry Lost Boys, Fright Night is THE '80s Gay Vampire Film. On top of all, most of the actors the film were gay. Stephen Geofeys went on to do gay porn, Amanda Bearse directed "The Big Gay Sketch Show, " and Roddy McDowall was one of Hollywood's "openly closeted" actors.

Vampire Boys is a gay vampire movie.

The lbian vampire film had been wh ever sce The Vampire Lovers (1970) but took some time for filmmakers to get ed to the gay male vampire. Certaly, the gay vampire was beg played as a joke as long ago as The Fearls Vampire Killers (1967) and fairly much beme s own niche wh the works of Anne Rice.

But the first full-fledged gay vampire film did not appear until Sb (2005). Vampire Boys is fairly much a gay versn of Twilight (2008).
